Clinical practice points

This resource was developed for General Practitioners (GPs) working in headspace services. While headspace GPs are the target audience, information herein is also applicable to other GPs working in (enhanced) primary care settings. A separate gender-affirming care resource has been developed for all professionals working in headspace services, including non-clinical and clinical staff, students, and volunteers.

This resource uses the language ‘trans and gender diverse’ to describe young people whose gender differs from the gender presumed for them at birth. This includes gender identities such as trans men or trans women, trans masculine and trans feminine, non-binary, gender questioning, agender, gender queer, Brotherboys and Sistergirls.
